Synera and Materialise have announced a collaboration to establish direct connectivity between Materialise Magics SDK and Synera’s agentic AI platform for engineers.
This collaboration allows Synera users with access to Magics SDK to deploy additive manufacturing agents that handle design-to-print tasks autonomously, helping scale throughput while reducing manual effort and cost.
The initial Materialise Magics SDK connector for Synera will provide capabilities including automated file repair and preparation directly from Synera; support structure generation and customisation, and advanced file editing and modification.
Magics SDK allows for platform integration with Magics’ powerful build preparation algorithms, including automatic and manual repair of file errors, part orientation optimisation, support generation, and slicing capabilities. These tools enable AM engineers to prepare even the most complex models for printing, reducing failed builds and improving part quality.
Synera’s platform enables companies to create and deploy collaborative AI agents that function as engineering experts, supplementing teams and autonomously addressing product development tasks. The platform’s visual editor allows engineers to automate at multiple complexity levels – from simple tasks to complex AM end-to-end workflows thanks to fully-fledged multi-agent systems that integrate with tools like Materialise’s Magics SDK.
“Our customers are already transforming their engineering operations with Synera by handing over repetitive work that all engineers dread to AI agents that autonomously optimize and prepare complex designs with less human intervention,” said Andrew Sartorelli, partner and product management lead at Synera.
“Adding Materialise’s industry-leading build preparation capabilities enables our users to create comprehensive AM workflows that prevent build failures due to file preparation issues while standardising and digitising their processes.”
The goal is to enable users to create end-to-end automation workflows for additive manufacturing, significantly reducing build failures and ensuring models are properly prepared before printing. Combined with other additive manufacturing solutions in the Synera marketplace, users can manage the complete AM workflow from design to production thanks to connections to other tools like nesting, build process simulation and 3D AM machine software.
Materialise partnership manager Gilles Claeys, added: “The connection with Synera allows for a tighter integration between design and build preparation workflows, providing designers with immediate feedback on manufacturability and build optimisation directly within one environment.”
In addition, a new Materialise Magics add-in also brings advanced mesh inspection and repair into Synera. The new nodes close a critical gap in full end-to-end automation of AM build processes. Together with integrations for nesting (Inkbit), support generation (Hexagon AM Studio), build process simulation (PanX), machine file generation (EOS Print) and several more process steps, it reduces the tedious, manual process that build prep once was.
